flameforger’s 2023

The weather finally caught on that it’s Flameforger’s month instead of Thundercrack month. Wednesday has pivoted to being the hottest day of the week. 95 degrees out today, with a heat index of 111. Boss texted that we could work from home due to the heat, but I was considering going down anyway—I wanted to check out the BBQ stand at the food court, and generally I think it’s good practice to get out of the house one day a week. If I stay home all week, one day slides into another and everything feels the same. A Wednesday outing neatly subdivides the week into “before Wednesday” and “after Wednesday.”

But I eventually decided to stay home because of the heat (and because I stayed up late playing Holocure, the hit new Vampire Survivors clone). I left the house briefly at 6 pm for an evening walk and it was miserable. It was like wading through soup. It was like getting caught in a backblast of bus exhaust. I made the right call. Hopefully next Wednesday will be better.

edit (8/24): Callanish doesn’t have air conditioning at home or at work and has a 30-minute walk to work. wtf rip
